It’s peplum time

May 18, 2017

I finished up some Market and custom projects recently which freed up some time for making the kids some clothing. They keep growing taller (why do they do this?) and I try to keep up. I ordered a bunch of fabric a while back and assembling patterns when I had some time. The top I’m...

The boy quilt

May 15, 2017

When we moved to Tennessee, Wallace transitioned from a toddler bed to a twin size. This change brought with it a need and opportunity to make a new quilt for my growing boy. Wallace loves fabric, and he’s pretty vocal about his opinions on anything that affects him. So I thought it was wise to...

A Liberty Quilt : exploring Alice Caroline’s new range + giveaway

March 28, 2017

A few weeks ago the ladies at Alice Caroline reached out to see if I’d like to make something with their brand new, exclusive range of fabrics from Liberty. I said yes straight away, and stalked the mailbox with anticipation. When they arrived I set out to plan my project. I remembered being particularly drawn...

This is a classically beautiful quilt that will never look trendy or dated. Sooo good Meredith! As for a favorite fabric of the bunch…impossible! It’s easy to pick a favorite until you look at the next choice. They are all perfect. Also, your new location for photos is fabulous.ReplyCancel

I’ve been admiring that quilt top for the last few weeks as you’ve posted updates, it’s gorgeous!! I’m also thinking the Margaret Annie is my favorite. Though, that green June’s meadow is ! Thanks for the sweet giveaway!ReplyCancel

I’ve never seen with any Liberty fabrics & I would love to. Your quilt shows them off fantastically well! My fav print would have to be the Margaret in hot orange.ReplyCancel
Lisa BurgerMarch 29, 2017 - 12:49 am
Hey Mer! Beautiful quilt top!!! Gorgeous range they designed huh!?! My favs are Mitsi Y or Betsey Y, can’t choose!
Ps. @farmgirlpaints on IG, had this same internet problem when she moved, was going to cost thousands to run lines then someone suggested to her to get a “hot spot” type wifi box, I honestly can’t remember exactly but it solved the problem and was WAY cheaper! You could DM her and ask. Hope this helps! XoReplyCancel

Beautiful quilt! I always prefer mint, but that green is so pretty. My favorites are Mitsi X Mint and June’s Meadow Green.ReplyCancel

Gorgeous fabrics and great quilt.ReplyCancel

Your quilt top is amazing and definitely pinning for when my Liberty scrap stash is ready..

It’s so hard to pick, but I think my favorite is the Betsy mint — such great colors.ReplyCancel
Amanda WeibergMarch 29, 2017 - 3:43 am
Lovely quilt! I am like you and must have all the Betsy’s… but that Wiltshire M is yummy and definitely my fave! Sorry to hear about your internet… growing up in the boondocks I remember these woes quite well :SReplyCancel

I love misti y!ReplyCancel
Elizabeth Di BattistaMarch 29, 2017 - 8:01 am
That quilt is gorgeous! If I had to choose a favourite (they all are spectacular) I would pick the Tana Lawn Betsy X Pink and Green. It reminds me of fabric from the 60’s – has a retro vibe.ReplyCancel
IvyMarch 29, 2017 - 8:12 am
Hard to pick a favorite, but I do really like the Margaret Annie X hot orange! You’re always pointing me to new prints I “just have to have!” lol.ReplyCancel
LaurenMarch 29, 2017 - 8:50 am
So pretty, Meredith! The yellow June’s Meadow is my favorite. I hope you guys are loving your new home!ReplyCancel

Gorgeous quilt and what a setting to showcase it! I love seeing quilter’s works – perhaps not being a quilter myself – I’m a garment sewer exclusively so far but I’ve been eyeing other projects lately like bag-making :) but that doesn’t stop me from going to Quilt Shows and Galleries to ooh and ah. Also I wanted to thank you for that link to Alice Caroline in the UK! I’m in Canada and often order Liberty from the UK but I’m always on the hunt for more sources. Shipping from the UK to Canada is much less than from the US and I do find their prices quite reasonable. Liberty lawn is up there with silk for me :)ReplyCancel
Andrea MMarch 29, 2017 - 9:03 am

Hi,love this post! Love the photography too!
“Mitsi X Mint”is my favorite!Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel
JeniMarch 29, 2017 - 3:29 pm
The first print that stood out to me was, of course, June’s meadow in green! Lol. I love the pink and green Betsy too. Ok, all of them. Your quilt is beautiful.

Also, I’m sure you’ve looked into this, but when we moved to the country (N. Alabama) we were forced to,use satellite internet. Hughes Net was the provider, I believe. Not ideal (super slow in inclement/cloudy weather), but we decided it was better than nothing!ReplyCancel
SarahMarch 29, 2017 - 5:12 pm
That quilt. So awesome. I think the Margaret Annie is my favorite!ReplyCancel
JessMarch 29, 2017 - 7:08 pm
June’s ameadow in green is my favorite! Perfect for spring (the yellows too). I just started buying a little Liberty here and there, so I’d love to win. The red you used provides such a beautiful contrast – it totally makes the quilt!ReplyCancel
PamelaMarch 29, 2017 - 8:48 pm
Your quilt is awesome! The small HST’s are the perfect dimention for showcasing these small and delightfully intricate prints. And the overall effect is classic and beautiful. I love it! As for the Liberty prints, it’s hard to choose one! But I think I love Petal and Bud best. Thanks for sharing this beautiful post, and for the chance to win!ReplyCancel

I just stumbled upon your blog and LOVE IT!!! This quilt is lovely and that fabric collection is just lovely. I just took an EPP class and am in love with 1930’s fabric! This collection has a slight 30’s feel to it! I think my favorite is the Poppy and Daisy N of all the fabrics!ReplyCancel
